Model for Integer Data

In general, the model set for integers is defined as follows:

The following values apply to this model set:

• i  is the integer value.
• s  is the sign (either +1 or -1).
• q  is the number of digits (a positive integer).
• r  is the radix (an integer greater than 1).
• w_k  is a nonnegative number less than r.

The model for INTEGER(4) follows:

The following example shows the general integer model for i = -20 using a base (r) of 2:
